Wahrscheinlich schlechter Index, vollständiger Tabellenscan

Wenn ich das ausführe, was Sie oben getan haben, bekomme ich

EXPLAIN select * from  stats_clicked s 
join visitor v on s.visitor_id=v.id 
+----+-------------+-------+------+---------------+--------+---------+--------------------+------+-------------+
| id | select_type | table | type | possible_keys | key    | key_len | ref                | rows | Extra       |
+----+-------------+-------+------+---------------+--------+---------+--------------------+------+-------------+
|  1 | SIMPLE      | v     | ALL  | PRIMARY       | NULL   | NULL    | NULL               |   15 | NULL        |
|  1 | SIMPLE      | s     | ref  | index3,index1 | index3 | 4       | so_gibberish2.v.id |    1 | Using index |
+----+-------------+-------+------+---------------+--------+---------+--------------------+------+-------------+

Wenn ich jedoch abschneide, führe das folgende Laden vieler Daten durch (was mit über 100.000 Zeilen endet):

truncate table visitor;

insert into visitor (`visited_time`) values
(1467122944),(1467122944),(1467122944),

insert visitor(`visited_time`) select `visited_time` from visitor;

insert visitor(`visited_time`) select `visited_time` from visitor;

insert visitor(`visited_time`) select `visited_time` from visitor;
insert visitor(`visited_time`) select `visited_time` from visitor;
insert visitor(`visited_time`) select `visited_time` from visitor;
insert visitor(`visited_time`) select `visited_time` from visitor;
insert visitor(`visited_time`) select `visited_time` from visitor;

select count(*) from visitor;
-- 104448 rows

Dies ergibt NICHT ein Tabellenscan:

EXPLAIN select * from  stats_clicked s 
join visitor v on s.visitor_id=v.id;
